They think that their domination is strong enough so that after an initial backlash, the users will come back since they have nowhere else to go. And they’re kind of right.
- Comment on The Google antitrust ruling could be an existential threat to the future of Firefox | Financials show 86% of Mozilla's revenue came from the agreement keeping Google as Firefox's default search engine 2 months ago:
It’s strange how the Internet has been flooded by this news. Like leave Google alone or Firefox gets it. Very strategic use of the media might I say.

Propaganda? Judging by the number of downvotes, I assume people didn’t even bother watching a 5 minutes video. Set it on 2x speed.

Well…the domestic routers also conduct in heavy data collection and some have technical backdoors, so I don’t know.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
Some data is definitely collected especially if the router is made for mainland China.

And the AI will? It will use all websites to give you the info. It doesn’t think, it spins.

I don’t deny the usefulness aspect of AI. I used it recently to increase the resolution of a video. It’s awesome. But when it’s used to replace info search, art, music… Just why?
- Comment on SGE, ChatGPT and the likes are the stupidest thing to come from AI 5 months ago:
I mean, sure, as long as you’re keeping the data locally. Otherwise, yikes.

Then why not use an ad-blocker? It’s not wise to think you’re getting the right information when you can’t verify the sources. Like I said, at least for me, the trust me bro aspect doesn’t cut it.

- Comment on Which is the best WiFi 7 adapter: Intel vs Qualcomm 5 months ago:
I got two BE200 adapters and both are non-vPro. I did not know about the AMD systems bug, I thought it’s just basic driver incompatibility. So I will look a bit more into it.
- Comment on Which is the best WiFi 7 adapter: Intel vs Qualcomm 5 months ago:
Some Qualcomm adapters do work with Linux, those that were available last year. The MSI does not seem to work with anything else than Windows 11 at the moment.
- Comment on Which is the best WiFi 7 adapter: Intel vs Qualcomm 5 months ago:
Can you please provide a link to the Intel WiFi 7 adapter that does work with AMD systems? I would really like to test it asap.

- Comment on Is Intel gatekeeping WiFi 7? A very quick look at the Intel BE200. 9 months ago:
I checked the official Intel page (www.intel.com/content/www/…/specifications.html) and there was no mention of CNVi. If you search for the visual difference between cards that use CNVio2 and those that use PCie, there is an actual difference at the connector level. I still don’t think that the BE200 works in the same manner as the AX211.
- Comment on Is Intel gatekeeping WiFi 7? A very quick look at the Intel BE200. 9 months ago:
Honestly, I don’t know how the BE200 works and whether there’s a strict communication protocol only with Intel CPUs. I hope that’s not the case and a firmware update will widen its reach. As for why I am don’t like this situation is that we only get one solution working with one platform. Qualcomm, apparently made it available for both (from what I could find on the web), but since the card is not in stock since maybe November, we’re stuck with what Intel wants to feed us. Sure, Intel can do whatever it wants, but it’s not really fair for AMD users.

Hey man, I agree, but I also want to be able to test new devices without having to replace my entire newly built PC :D
- Comment on Is Intel gatekeeping WiFi 7? A very quick look at the Intel BE200. 9 months ago:
I agree that it’s very early to go with WiFi 7 at the moment. The issue that I have with the current situation is that Qualcomm managed to make a Wi-Fi 7 adapter which apparently works with AMD and Intel, while the BE200 is ‘locked’ to their platform only. They didn’t even go with CNVi this time. It’s just strange and may sway people towards a certain platform due to a simple compatibility issue like this.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will add power consumption to the article as well, it’s easy to do so.

You should see the GT-AX6000.
- Comment on A review of the ASUS RT-AX88U Pro + I need your advice! 9 months ago:
I am more interested whether the testing methodology is good enough and clear. I can apply it to multi node systems, as well as wireless APs.
- Comment on A review of the ASUS RT-AX88U Pro + I need your advice! 9 months ago:
Noted.
- Comment on A review of the ASUS RT-AX88U Pro + I need your advice! 9 months ago:
Oh, I wholeheartedly agree. But I don’t think we’ll manage to convince many people, outside the tech enthusiasts that this is the best way for good WiFi.

It seems that the link got deleted. I inserted it into a comment.

Oh, it was removed… I attempted to add the link in a comment. Hopefully it stays.

It depends on the brand since very few allow the user to properly configure and control the mesh system. Then again, there’s AiMesh available.

Since it seems that the link has been removed, I will try to add it in the comments: mbreviews.com/asus-rt-ax88u-pro-wifi-6-router-rev… What a strange occurrence
